Say NO to a Fish Market in a Residential and Sacred Zone - Tulsiwadi, Tardeo, Mumbai
Why This Petition Matters
We, the concerned residents of Tulsiwadi, Tardeo, Mumbai, are raising our voices against the setting up of a fish market in the Municipal Building of our locality — a move that has severely disrupted the peace, hygiene, and sanctity of our neighbourhood.
What’s Happening?
A fish market has recently been established in the Municipal Building at Tulsiwadi, Tardeo. While markets are vital for communities, this particular location is entirely unsuitable for such an operation due to the following serious concerns:
- Public Health & Hygiene at Risk:
- Violation of Religious Sensitivities:
- Traffic Chaos and Safety Hazards:
- Possible Legal Violations:
The market has already led to foul odours and water stagnation due to inadequate drainage. The unhygienic environment is attracting mosquitoes and pests, putting residents at risk of diseases and creating discomfort for families, especially children and the elderly. There is also a foul odour already spreading to the surrounding buildings.
The market lies immediately adjacent to a Hindu temple and in close proximity to three Jain temples. The presence of a fish market in such a location is deeply distressing and offensive to devotees, violating the sanctity of these places of worship.
The market is located on a narrow, one-way street already congested with parked vehicles. The constant influx of tempos, taxis, and carts for loading and unloading fish has worsened traffic conditions and created safety risks for pedestrians and local commuters.
We believe the functioning of this market violates several civic norms and provisions under the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888, which mandates the regulation of offensive trades and ensures market operations adhere to health, environmental, and zoning regulations.
Our Stand – Community First
We are not against markets — we are against their arbitrary and hazardous placement. We are committed to restoring peace and order in our neighbourhood and will pursue all legal and civic channels to achieve this goal.
We are prepared to support and undertake legal action, including approaching the Honourable Courts, to seek appropriate relief and ensure our rights as citizens are protected.
What You Can Do
We respectfully urge the Mumbai Municipal Corporation to immediately relocate the fish market to a more appropriate and compliant area that does not disrupt residential peace, public health, or religious harmony.

This is not just about Tulsiwadi — it’s about fair urban planning, community wellbeing, and respect for diverse traditions. If you live in this area or believe in responsible governance, please sign this petition and support our call for action.
Together, let’s reclaim the safety, harmony, and dignity of our locality.

The volume of support has reached a level that allows us to formally request a meeting with the local municipal ward office. I am currently drafting a letter that outlines our specific grievances regarding health and zoning to accompany the delivery of these names.

Fish market should be shifted to other place as -it creates traffic, -there is foul odour which is unpleasant, -water accumulated attracts pests so neighbours are at risk of disease, -due to temples around it sanctity is not maintained
There should be no fish market in Tardeo area it should be in dockyard side which donot disturb any jain vicinity Just my opinion
We have an objection. It is not fair to open a fish market near a Jain temple and a building full of Jain people. We demand a quick action to be taken !
Fish dead bodies and unhealthy way of taking this business lead to various health issues and might lead to one more disaster like Covid -19
A fish market is going to create chaos in a already crowded lane of tulsiwadi ans we know there is no hygiene maintained by them , will BMC take responsibility of everyone's health
Mumbai is built by hardworking and prestigious Koli community and closing fish markets in Mumbai is more than impossible if anyone have problem with it then they can sort some solution to it but closing down fish markets is not a good idea. I stand with my Koli community.
Fish market is a big no no
